What is the (magnitude of the) centripetal acceleration (as a multiple of g=9.8~\mathrm{m/s^2}g=9.8 m/s 2 ) towards the Eart

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration as a multiple of $g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is $1.020x10^{-3}m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is defined as:

$a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}$ (1)

Where v is the velocity and r is the radius

Since the person is standing in the Earth surfaces, their velocity will be the same of the Earth. That one can be determined by means of the orbital velocity:

$v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}$ (2)

Where r is the radius and T is the period.

For this case the person is standing at a latitude $71.9^{\circ}$ . Remember that the latitude is given from the equator. The configuration of this system is shown in the image below.

It is necessary to use the radius at the latitude given. That radius can be found by means of trigonometric.

$\cos \theta = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

$\cos \theta = \frac{r_{71.9^{\circ}}}{r_{e}}$ (3)

Where $r_{71.9^{\circ}}$ is the radius at the latitude of $71.9^{\circ}$ and $r_{e}$ is the radius at the equator ( $6.37x10^{6}m$ ).

$r_{71.9^{\circ}}$ can be isolated from equation 3:

$r_{71.9^{\circ}} = r_{e} \cos \theta$ (4)

$r_{71.9^{\circ}} = (6.37x10^{6}m) \cos (71.9^{\circ})$

$r_{71.9^{\circ}} = 1.97x10^{6} m$

Then, equation 2 can be used

$v = \frac{2 \pi (1.97x10^{6} m)}{24h}$

Notice that the period is the time that the Earth takes to give a complete revolution (24 hours), this period will be expressed in seconds for a better representation of the velocity.

$T = 24h . \frac{3600s}{1h}$ ⇒ $84600s$

$v = \frac{2 \pi (1.97x10^{6} m)}{84600s}$

$v = 146.31m/s$

Finally, equation 1 can be used:

$a = \frac{(146.31m/s)^{2}}{(1.97x10^{6}m)}$

$a = 0.010m/s^{2}$

Hence, the centripetal acceleration is $0.010m/s^{2}$

To given the centripetal acceleration as a multiple of $g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ it is gotten:

$\frac{0.010m/s^{2}}{9.8 m/s^{2}} = 1.020x10^{-3}m/s^{2}$

At the very end of Wagner's series of operas The Ring of Nibelung, Brunnhilde takes the golden ring form the finger of the dead

Blababa [14]

Answer:

a) 404 m² b) apparent height = 7.5 m

Explanation:

This question is about refraction and total internal refraction.

Here I will take refractive index of air and water

$n_{air}=1\\ n_{water}=1.33=4/3$

Now let's look at the diagram I have attached here

At some angle A, the light from the ring (yellow point) under water will be totally internally refracted (B = 90°), which means that rays of light (yellow arrow) that make large enough angle A will not be able to escape from the water. Since we assumed that the ring is a point, there will be a critical cone of angle A with the ring at its apex which traces a circle of radius R on the surface of water, which, beyond this radius, no light could escape.

According to snell's law

$\frac{sin(B)}{sin(A)} = \frac{n_{water}}{n_{air}} = 4/3$

At critical angle B = 90°

$\frac{3)}{4}sin(B) = [tex]\frac{3}{4} sin(90^\circ ) = 0.75 = sin(A)$

Therefore

$A = 48.6^\circ$

With this, we can find the radius of the circle (refer to my diagram)

$h* tan (A) = R\\R =11.3 m$

And with that we can find the area

$A = \pi R^2=404\ m^2$

Additional Problem

For apparent depth from above, we can think that, since we are accustomed to seeing light at the speed of c in air, our brain interpret light from <em>any</em> source to be traveling at c. This causes light that originated under water, which has the speed of

$v_{water} = \frac{c}{n_{water}} = 0.75c$

to appear as if it has traveled with the same duration as light with speed c

In order for this to happen our brain perceive shortened length which is the apparent depth.

To put it in mathematical term

$t_{travel}=\frac{h_{apparent}}{v_{water}} =\frac{h}{c}$

So we get apparent depth

$h_{apparent}=0.75h = 7.5\ m$

The head of a grass string trimmer has 100 g of cord wound in a light, cylindrical spool with inside diameter 3.00 cm and outsid

Karolina [17]

Answer:

a).11.546J

b).2.957kW

Explanation:

Using Inertia and tangential velocity

a).

$w=2250*2\pi *\frac{1}{60}\\ w=235.61$

$I=\frac{1}{2}*m*((\frac{d_{i} }{2})^{2} +(\frac{d_{e} }{2})^{2})\\m=100g *\frac{ikg}{1000g}=0.1kg\\ d_{i}=3cm*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.03m \\ d_{e}=18cm*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.18m\\I=\frac{1}{2}*0.1kg*((\frac{0.03m}{2})^{2} +(\frac{0.18m}{2})^{2})\\I=0.41625x10^{-3}kg*m^{2}$

Now using Inertia an w

$E=\frac{1}{2}*I*(w)^{2} \\ E=\frac{1}{2}*0.416x10^{-3}*(235.61)^{2} \\E=11.54J$

average power= $\frac{11.4J}{0.230s}=50.2 W$

b).

power=t*w

P= $11.5465*0.25*235.61$

P=2.957 kW
